Messrs. Editors
Parallels in history are not only inter-
esting, but they serve to fix firmly in
mind useful facts. Take, tor instance, an
outline of the government in 1924. Cam
bridge was then part OF Franklin coun-
tv. with grand list of Sl3,755.3l. Now
the list amounts to Sl1 1888 decrease
of 81 ,931.9l. James Monroe was Pres
ident of the United States and Daniel D..
Tompkins Vice President. At this time
His Excellency G. 2. VanNesss was Gov
ernor. and William A. Palmer and Hora-
ito Seymour had been elected Senators
for the 18th Congress. and William g..
Bradley, AFRO G. Buck, Samuel G. Crafts,
Rollin C. Mallory Representatives i'll the
same. John Warner was then the town
representative from Cambridge. The re-
nowned John Marshall was Chief JUS
tice of the United States, and here in
Vermont Elijah Paine was Judge of the
district court; attorney, William Girls
void; marshall, Joseph Edison; clerk,
Jesse Cove. The chief Judge in the
county court was Hon. Joseph ID. Farms
worth. and the associate Judges, Zerah
Willoughby and Thomas Waterman.
Judge Willoughby once owned the Film
wood house on Main street which was
built by Clement TrOwbridge in 1917.
The practicing attorneys were Ma
thaniel Reed, Jr., and Henry StOwell.
The Justices at this time were seven in
number: Abner Brush, Thaddeus Muir
dock, Isaac Griswold, Moses Reynolds,
Clark Buker, John Page and James Gil
more. John Wires was the constable,
Abner Brush held the office of Town
Clerk and John Fassett was Postmaster.
There are those among our old inhabit-
ants to whom the above may seem famil-
lar, but to many of this generation it
will serve as slight retrospect of the
year 1924. ERNEST G.. KERR.
